Quick Healthy Dinner Idea

Quick and easy dinner using healthy quinoa. It takes almost no time and it is satifying.

I often have little time to make dinner during the week.  I try to make quick dinners using what I have on hand.  This is what I made tonight.  It turned out good and filled me up in a healthy way.  Let me know what you think.

1 cup frozen corn

1 cups frozen peas

3 green onions

1 lb cooked frozen shrimp

1 TBS toasted sesame oil

1 TBS cocount oil

Garlic salt to taste

 

The veggie broth and quiona go into a pot brought to a boil and cooked for about 20 minutes.  Then just throw in everything else and saute for 5-7 minutes.  Everything in one pot and you can use whatever veggies you have on hand.  Quick, easy and satisfying!
